    Old ford 302 no spark

    It's a ford. The one odd thing is at the solinoid. I have never had a problem with turning engine over from the key. Now unless I have a ground wire to the soliniod the key won't work. Having that ground kills the power to the coil. Even if I jump it to turn it over there is no spark from coil...
